The Filipino communities in the Netherlands celebrate Philippine Independence every year. We do it with a barbeque picnic.
We went to the Independence Day celebration in Spaarnwoude Park.
Many had brought tents and barbeque stands. It was eating the whole day and enjoying the show.
The ambassador gave a short speech. I did not see it because I was busy roaming around looking for something to buy. But I went home with nothing. The highlight of the program was Randy Santiago. It was my first time to see Randy in person. I thought he was a tall guy but to my surprise he is just the same as many Filipinos. I took lots of pictures because I had the chance to come closer to the stage. Here are the pictures:Randy gave a nice show.

About this Blog

I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.Their culture is very interesting.
